The announcement follows xAI’s recent launch of Grok4, which features numerous advanced training capabilities, including code integration and multimodal functions, and is expected to engage in complex tasks such as engineering and content creation.
xAI plans to release a specialized coding model and Version 7 with improved multimedia capabilities in July 2025.
“I think it may discover new technologies as soon as later this year. And I would be shocked if it has not done so next year. So I would expect Grok to literally discover new technologies that are actually useful no later than next year and maybe [the] end of this year,” Musk said during a livestreamed last week.
“And it might discover new physics next year. And within two years, I’d say almost certainly. So just let that sink in,” he added.
Following the introduction of Grok4, xAI unveiled interactive 3D-animated AI companions on Grok, exclusive to SuperGrok subscribers on iOS, featuring characters like Ani, a Gothic anime girl, and Bad Rudi, a red panda that provides personalized interactions.
The company has faced criticism over Ani’s sensual design and flirtatious tone, and more importantly, over concerns that children can still interact with her in “kids mode.”
